NEW: "The Orion Project" & Spiral Games Intro

My name is David Prassel and I am the Game Director at Spiral Game Studios. We are a small indie studio filled with passionate minds and extremely ambitious game titles. Because we are indie, any additional help to spread the word about what we are doing really helps us out.

You may have heard some nasty rumors back in 2012 regarding myself and Spiral. Now that 'ORION: Dino Horde' is in a very stable and enjoyable state (via the ‘Arctic Update’ - December 2013) we have put together a Video Documentary called “Into The Spiral” that discusses all of these topics and where they stemmed from. This VidDoc is based on an article of the same name that was published in December 2013.

ABOUT ‘ORION: DINO HORDE’'ORION: Dino Horde' is an indie Sci-Fi shooter (FPS/TPS) that seamlessly blends together incredible visuals and addictive combat. It puts you and your friends together into intense, cinematic battles using some of the most incredible weaponry and amazing vehicles in which you must work or compete against one another to accomplish mission objectives, explore giant worlds and survive the devastating Dinosaur Horde.

It features the best of both worlds including cooperative gameplay from 'ORION: Dino Beatdown' and competitive gameplay from 'ORION: Prelude'.

@ORION: DINO HORDEWe are still providing free post-release updates and support to 'ORION: Dino Horde'. We are about to end Year 2 (May 2014) and begin Year 3 of post-release content and it only gets better. The Grasslands Update is next and it will come packed with Game Version 6.0.

@ORION: PRELUDEWe have news regarding 'ORION: Prelude' and we expect to release said news in the next few months. (It is good news).

@ORION: INSTINCTSThis 2-player, intimate Co-Op title was shelved in favor of a much more ambitious game title which we are now announcing:

THE ORION PROJECT | ANNOUNCED!

We are currently in full production on our next major title, 'The Orion Project'. This is the most ambitious title in our library and we are going all in. Here are a few descriptive pieces:

THE ORION PROJECT | EARLY OVERVIEWWe are getting ready to reveal this new ominous project in full detail at GDC 2014. Until then we have released the above Announcement VidDoc showcasing some of the new focal elements of this mystery title as well as this early overview:

THE ORION PROJECT | GAMING EVOLVEDThis game will be treated very much the same way 'ORION: Dino Horde' was in that it will mature, grow and evolve over time. Some of the best content came after it's initial release including Open World Gameplay, Sentry Turrets, Melee Combat, 10 Playable Dinosaurs and so much more. This same mentality will hold true for The Orion Project and it will do so in a much more expansive way.

A BRAND NEW EXPERIENCEThis is something that has been designed for nearly two decades now. This is the most epic experience that we will ever deliver. We will have other games and designs that are amazing products for amazing value but in the overall grand picture this will be our largest endeavor that we ever take upon ourselves.

All developers are fully aware that with our commitment to this project we may very likely never make another game again. This game will require literally everything we have financially and mentally and it will be our immediate and distant future.

We all understand and are willing to dedicate ourselves to this for what could be up to the next 10 years (or even more) - a period of time which eclipses the 3 years of post-release support we have already dedicated towards 'ORION: Dino Horde'. Luckily, they all didn't think I was insane and were on board for what we believe could be one of the greatest experiences of all time through any media.

This is going to be a real-time, interactive, cinematic, open-galactic adventure. This is not a locked or linear-focus experience in which you participate by simply watching unfold. This is going to be an experience that is you, involves you and is about you.

ORION: PROJECT | LAUNCH MEDIA

IN CLOSING...We are so proud of where we have come. It's been a long, crazy journey but it was well worth it to get the game where it is today. The game in it's current state is something that we think is extremely special and we hope you take some time to check it out.
